1992 K75 Standard - Seat height identification - modification

[IndyBill]

I am assuming this Corbin is the low-seat option for two reasons: 1. I can flat foot the bike and still have a bend in my legs (32 inch inseam) and 2. It just looks low and says Corbin on it.

Besides, this seat cover is well past the "best if used by" date

Regardless, it is too low (Needs to go up 2-3 inches. I need less of a bend at the hips - human hip dysplasia issues), and too far back (needs to go forward 2-3 inches. Yeah, I read the Master Yoda words of wisdom). IMHO, the Corbin is oddly comfortable......for about 200 miles.....then I feel pressure points on my bony butt, prostate (sorry for the TMI....all us olde guys will relate), and a knot between my shoulder blades.

My options?
Russell Day Long is my first thought. I have had RDLs on two separate motorcycles and they are "da bomb" (function over form).
Adding foam to the existing seat is another option. Lots of reading/searching done on this subject, which has resulted in more questions than answers. I tried some carpet padding (meh) and some open cell foam I found at an auto custom interior shop (kinda meh). If nothing else, I can now appreciate why I pay someone else the big bucks to build a custom seat.

My questions to this group are:
Does anyone have pictures of a K75 with a standard height RDL on it?
Does anyone have pictures of a K75 with a low height RDL on it?

It would be REALLY nifty if someone with a low/standard RDL that lives relatively close to Indianapolis (relative as in the surrounding states to Indiana) that wouldn't mind my sitting on it.

Welcome from Alabama, The Beautiful.
I grew up in Greenwood.
That looks to be a standard seat.
Low models lose the battery covers for a moulded piece.
Shouldn't be too hard to google "k75" and look at images for different configurations.

During the resulting Google search I found this gem on the Motobrick forum.

"If your bike has side(a.k.a. battery) covers and the seat has hinges on the right side to rotate it open then you have a regular seat."

Huh.......that would be a great forum to join and peruse <banging head on bricks>

I have a standard seat.

Thanks for the pictures, Laitch. Pretty bike. Bluey is a "survivor" that has been rode hard and put away wet more than once. Part of its charm

I posted this on your intro thread, but silicone will add height and comfort ... and, you won't have to carve a pocket out of the seat foam. The silicone cuts with scissors easy, and is available with or without foam attached. Cheers
